Winding up wire on a coil

ArcEye's response sounds like the best answer.

However

Do someone knows the command to set it to zero after each rotation, without rotating it backwards.

You can take a look at G10 or G92.

The other solution is to run in feed-per rev mode and simply do repeated G1 moves.
This is what I did when winding my magneto, the code here was simply:

G95 F0.12
M3 S400
O100 repeat [200]
G1 X+25
G1 X -25
O100 endrepeat

Unfortunately the axis doesn´t rotate after the first 360°.

Try programming the move in incremental mode instead of absolute

Then you are telling it to move 360 deg not go to 360 deg, it probably won't move the second time because it is already there.

Then the problem is, that it doesn´t stop at the endpoint of ten and is not moving backwards. Incremental distance mode g91 shall apply only to the number of degrees, but I don´t know how to put it in.

Unfortunately that code doesn´t work for my machine.

I think I will do it with G10 and just set counter to zero in G90-absolute distance mode.

You don't even have to use degrees, you can define a rotary axis as linear and just tell it to move a distance, you just have to work out how many linear units equal a complete turn.
Then you could use G91 G01 A600 Y1 say

All you need is a rotational axis holding the 'bobbin' and a 90deg opposed axis feeding the wire, moving up and down synchronised with the rotation.

I admit being somewhat confused by your original post, specifically this bit :S

By the way the A is my y-axis.
